    • Advantages of the Present Invention
  • As is obvious from the results in Table 3, the synthetic resin compositions with lubricative underwater properties of the present invention comprising RBC or CRBC fine powder and a synthetic resin exhibit excellent underwater friction properties. They are as materials with which to make a bearing which comes in direct contact with a liquid such as a shieldless bearing with a sleeve bearing structure for a pump which is used in a liquid.
  • The foregoing is considered as illustrative only to the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous changes and modification will occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described above, and accordingly all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
